Each year, we have the privilege of recognising a small number of individuals from the Variety family whose exceptional commitment has made a lasting impact. Selecting recipients is never easy — so many people support Variety in meaningful and generous ways.
The From the Heart Awards honour those who have stood out in their own unique ways, contributing their time, passion and support to our cause over many years.
